Chapter 215: To Respond to a Request

"Why are you home so late again?" Zhou Mingchen's face was overcast as she entered the door.

After changing her shoes, Xia Lu placed a paper bag on the dining table and said with a sweet smile, "I've bought some late-night snacks. Come and eat~"

There's an old saying, 'You can't slap a smiling face,' and her demeanor made it impossible for Zhou Mingchen to scold her.

"Zhang Ma said she can resume work next week," Zhou Mingchen closed his book and walked over to the dining table. "It's been tough on you these days."

Xia Zhiqiu waved her hands dismissively, "It's just cooking, not at all tough. I'd do the same at home anyway. But since Zhang Ma is coming back, I'll head home and stop intruding on you lovebirds."
